Breaking Boundaries

"Oh, it's YOU." Rarity sighed as she opened the door.

It was about an hour after cooking food. They were all filled up now and were lying on the couch, talking about the events of yesterday, as well as their future and what they would do to escape the persecution of Ponyville. Rarity's house had become a "marked" house now, and nopony would dare go anywhere near it, for it accommidated the homosexual that was ruining all of Ponyville society. The doorbell had just rung, and standing in front of it. . .

"Aw shucks, Rarity, you can't be all mad at me. I really wanna help mah pal Rainbow. . . I just got scared. . . I'm not good at hiding it when I'm scared. . . that's whatcha get when you hold the element of honesty, can't hide your true feelin's much. . . heh. . ." Applejack exclaimed, trying her best not to get the door slammed into her face.

"Oh, I see! You're playing a little trick on me, aren't you! You're just gonna come in here and get your damn little dirty hands all over this beautiful creature because you want her to conform to some sort of comfooormity! Well let me tell you THIS, AppleBITCH, you aren't going to have ANY of it!" Rarity growled.

"Rarity. . . let her in. . ." Rainbow grumbled uncertainly. "If she was really scared of me. . . she wouldn't have come. . ." Rainbow looked out the window toward's Twilight's house, still having a forcefield around it and having Spike keep guard. She noticed Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Big Mac walking inside of her house, oddly enough, all speaking to each other in hushed voices (or as hushed as Pinkie could be).

"Fine. . ." Rarity sighed. "But if you want her to leave, just give me the word and I'll DESTROY her."

"Heh. . . thanks. . ." Applejack trotted nervously inside the house, making sure to wipe her feet as best as she could. "But Rare was right. . . Ah did come here to. . . convince ya ta come back on our team. . ." Applejack tossed a pile of magazines to Rainbow Dash.

"Playpony. . . Stalli-ON. . . Applejack. . . these are all porn magazines. . . with stallions." Rainbow asked inquisitively.

"Hyup! Bein' a farmgirl without much guys gets me VERY bored sometimes, so ah buy these ta cope. But I wanna help you, so you can look through them! I've put little bookmarks that Twilight keeps on givin' me on my favorite ones!~" Applejack stated happily. "If ya want, I can even donate summa mah toys for ya!~"

"APPLEBITCH, I KNEW IT ALL ALONG, YOU FUCKING LITTLE TYRANT PIECE OF ANUS SHIT, TRYING TO PE-" Rarity screamed.

"Hey. . . Rarity. . . I'm ok with this. . . it means a lot. . . friends don't always have to agree on stuff. . . but friends are always there for each other. . . Twilight and Fluttershy shut the door on me. . . Pinkie called me horrible names. . . Big Mac yelled at me. . . But Applejack came back and tried to help. . . she's a keeper." Rainbow said calmly.

"Rainbow. . . Rainbow. . . I. . . I didn't expect that to come from you. . . but that's so true. . . I'm sorry Applejack, I said some very mean things." Rarity sighed out, depressed about how mean she was.

"Don't worry 'bout it, sugarcube!~" Applejack retorted. "But Rainbow, at least take a look! Like look at THIS one! That's my cousin Braeburn!"

Rainbow shivered in fear and curled up into a ball upon seeing the stallion. "pleasedon'thurtmepleasedon'thurtme"

"Applejack. . . Rainbow had a VERY bad dream last night about stallions doing all sorts of mean things to her! She NEEDS time to recover!" Rarity growled.

"Ah'm. . . sorry. . ." Applejack took the book away, but still left the page open to the picture. "Ah didn't know, Rainbow. . . if i'd known, I wouldn't be doing this."

"Nah, it's fine!" Rainbow poked her head out and attempted to sound happy and confident. "Just. . . yeah. . . never again. . . for a LONG time."

Applejack stared at the picture of Braeburn for a bit longer, smiling as she studied the countless aspects of his picture. The page itself was stained with passionate desposits, and seemed heavily. . . used. Applejack put down the book and gave a very serious look to the other two mares in the room

"Girls. . . can I admit something to you. . ." Applejack muttered out nervously.

"Anything, darling!~" Rarity stated happily. She was trying her absolute hardest to be a good host, and forget about the pain that Applejack had caused towards Rainbow.

"Ya'll are both really brave about sharing that big thing about you. . . sharing something that goes against the Concordance of Celestia. . . I know how big Ponyville ponies are about it. . . I wish I could be as brave as ya'll. . . you've got guts to do that. . . Ah admire you both." Applejack began, her eyes shifting from side to side.

". . . Are you saying. . .?" Rainbow asked insquisitively, perking her head to the side.

"Nah, I'm still a sucker for stallions, but. . . ya'll know in that one chapter, where it's ahll like "Thou whomest share the same blood and attempt creation shall be deposited as waste in the deepest parts of hell"" Applejack sighed out.

"You and Big Mac?" Rarity chimed in, her natural desire for gossip kicking in.

"Nah. . . he'd probably kill me or somethin' if ah liked him like that. . . but Braeburn. . . Braeburn. . ." Applejack giggled in happiness.

"Let me see that!" Rarity grabbed the magazine, still open to the page with Braeburn. ". . . very well, I don't have to yell at you for having a bad taste in stallions. Your eye is strong."

"Yeah, but ya know. . . I kind need your help. . . Ah. . . Ah got so brave after hearing 'bout you. . . I told Big Mac. . . he doesn't wanna see mah face ever again. . ." Applejack muttered. "And. . . and. . . B-B-Brae. . ." Applejack fell to the floor in tears. "WHY. WHY THIS BOOK. . ."

"Oooh, Applejack, darling, don't be sad! Here, take this blanket!~" Rarity pet Applejack's mane as she placed a blanket over her body. "It's all going to be ok. . . you have friends here. . . You have me and Rainbow here. . . that's all you need. . ."

"T-T-Thanks. . . ya'll are the best ponies a pony could know. . . but what ah'm scared about is. . . what they're doing right now." Applejack managed to breathe out, still crying.

"You mean with Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Twilight?" Rainbow asked, getting off of the couch she was on and nuzzling Applejack, attempting to comfort her without seeming too. . . lesbian, for lack of a better word.

"Yeah. . . they're all gonna start a "Great Awakening" here in Ponyville. . . they all feel that ponies here 'ave been breakin' the "natural law" of Celestia and they're all tryin' ta bring us back, even if it means that. . . violence has to happen." Applejack stuttered out. "Big Mac told me all ah this before he. . . he. . ." The tears flew back again into full force. Rainbow look at Applejack's body under the blanket. Her body was filled with bruises. "Oh god. . . I'm sorry. . . I'm so sorry. . ." Rainbow stated in horror.

"Don't worry 'bout it, there was nothing ya'll could do. . . but yeah, that's what happenin'. . . we need ta get out of here. . . Rarity, you ain't done nothing wrong, but they're gonna get you too, since ya helped ol' Rainbow. . . which ain't a bad thing. . . it's a brave thing ta do for a friend. I'm just so MAD. We spent ALL this time learnin' 'bout the magic o' friendship and it's all thrown away just by this one little thing!" Applejack exclaimed.

"Oh, it's SO ironic how you're saying that, Applebi-" Rarity furiously piped in.

"AH WASN'T BREAKIN' OUR FRIENDSHIP. AH GOT SCARED. IS THAT FINE FOR YA?! SOMETIMES A LITTLE LASS LIKE ME GETS A LITTLE SCARED WHEN THINGS HAPPEN THAT SHE DON'T EXPECT!" Applejack screamed, stomping her hooves into the ground.

"Well maybe if you were TRUE friends with her, you would have just been like "Oh, OK, so she wants to kiss me. Well maybe I should TELL her that I don't want to do stuff and STAY with her so she doesn't come to her other friend's house and cry fucking tears about it!" Rarity stated, not yelling but speaking firmly, stomping her hooves into the ground hard enough for the ground to shake slightly, disrupting Opal from her nap.

"Applejack. . . Rarity. . . shut up." Rainbow stated monotonously.

"Yup." The two mares stated in conjunction.

"Now, I think this is. . . the start of something big. I know Applejack's story isn't a fake, I can see in Twilight's window right now. There's charts. . . all three of us are in there. . . there's a bunch of mad ponies around us, with. . . weapons. . . we gotta get out of here. . . I can't go to cloudsdale, both of you wouldn't be able to survive, and they more then anyone hate me right now. Spitfire wasn't just another Wonderbolt, she was THE Wonderbolt" Rainbow explained calmly, slightly annoyed by the fighting.

"and I can't take you all to Canterlot. Sure, I have connection there now, but word travels fast, and I've lost everything I probably would have had in there. Plus, Celestia's there." Rarity explained, impressed and inspired by Rainbow's sudden seriousness.

"THAT'S PERFECT! Ya'll can go ta Canterlot and talk ta Celestia 'bout all this! Maybe she'll royally pardon us or something!" Applejack hopped in excitement.

"Not just a pardon. . . we need these laws taken OUT." Rainbow stated passionately, slamming her hoof on the ground. "We need to have a big talk with her! Now, we're in a bad spot, Twilight's got deep connections with her, and Shining's, also her older brother, which gives her yet ANOTHER connection. Besides, we can't leave here without a plan. . . what if someone sees us and turns us in to the. . . Holy Alliance, or whatever they're called."

"Well. . . all we can do is try, right? If it ain't work, then at least we tried" Applejack stated.

"and as for the escape route, Twilight taught me a bit more about magic. . . I can do a teleportation spell, but it'll only take us like. . . from when I tried it last, a bit outside of Ponyville." Rarity stated, a notable happiness in her tone from her desire to be helpful.

"In that case. . . girls. . . I think we've got a world to save. . ." Rainbow stated, helping Applejack and Rarity up.

"Heh, I'm not sure about a WORLD, but we're definately saving ourselves! Now, come, put a hoof all together!" Rarity stated as she placed her hoof out in front of her. The other ponies did the same, conjoining hooves. A light shined from Rarity's horn, and the three mares dissapeared with a flash of light.
